Humans forget. The TSA allegedly deletes your photo, but they're quiet about the rest of the data they collected from that photo.

Depends on the engine. They had an option for a turbo 1.5l l15 and a 2l k20. Plus a few others I don't know were offered in usdm. No idea about Thailand but if it wasn't a 2 liter, I think it was not a k series. In a very niche fo

I haven't found a way to tell Windows 10 to hibernate other than making that the power button action in power options. Maybe because it's a laptop but it starts immediately after hibernating and your have to hold the power button

Ways to prevent someone from extracting value out of their work that are clearly not theft: - murder - kidnapping - ddosing their site so they can't sell things - carpet bombing their reviews with 1 star - filing an injunction blocking

That's unfortunately not true. In the US, this song is unavailable on Spotify where I found it, but available on YT music. Preface by Man Without Country. Given another 5 minutes, I could also find a song that is not listed on one but

My first time having yellow jackets in my wall, I sprayed poison in the entrance. They found a new way to leave the nest that was into my kitchen. That's when I stopped using poison.

You _can_ kill the nest this late in the season with a vacuum. I just did it 2-3 weeks ago; got the queen and all. It took several weeks of vacuum of intermittent vacuuming but you can. I've done this twice using the same method.

Alternatively, if you like having your house not catch on fire... Soapy water is unreasonably effective. Water alone is not. The soap makes the water extra clingy and does a pretty rapid job of incapacitating insects. Then killing them.

If they have moved into the walls where you live, they need to be removed. Species is not important here.

In my experience (and wikipedia), mud daubers aren't aggressive. You may have misidentified a species or had an uncommon experience. They prey on spiders so I consider them beneficial. Only real issue with them is that they clog up

No experience in the uk, but I might be able to explain. YellowJackets are wasps, I'm calling them out specifically; wasp is used for other species. Wasps nest under the eaves of houses all the time. If they're not near an entryw

Bumpers from the 80s and early 90s were more substantial and outset from the vehicle. If a 5mph impact did anything to the bumper, it took the hit and the rest of the car was generally fine. The bumper was easy enough to replace because i

There will always be "good reason" for the invasion of privacy. If you didn't actively oppose their use, you're also to blame.

That's different. Look up the gentleman's agreement for why, but every Japanese car from that era had 276hp on paper. The supra had close to 320 as sold. The skyline had a marked boost controller hose that you could remove part of

There’s no single universal legal definition of “lifetime” for products — it’s vague and often depends on the warranty’s own wording. It can mean the buyer’s lifetime, the product’s “useful life,” or as long as the manufacturer supports it.

You should look up what strikers are and maybe check the statistics for most stolen cars.

DJI drones are the industry standard because they are very good and typically cost significantly less than non Chinese manufactured drones. I can't currently substantiate this claim with data, but I would be shocked if less than 80% of

Unless your car is very new, you have all the stuff you need to learn to change a tire in the trunk. Watch 2 short YouTube videos and go do it. It'll take you half an hour. You should use a torque wrench but if it was that critical, on

The example above is bad but not by much. In the parts of NY outside the city, we have 65mph roads (state max speed limit) between large areas and 55mph roads between smaller areas. Doing 10 over in both is common with speeds being 65 and 7
